Default v6 swap

Everybody knows how search functions blow on forums so sorry if this is a repeated topic.

My GSR is blown and needs replaced. I remember in a magazine i got a while back them having an article about v6 swaps as an alternative. I like being different. I'm looking at the c32a (legents and tl). Does anybody have any experience with this motor or know of any information about these motors. I have pretty stiff suspension in the front so weight shouldn't be an issue. Thanks for any help.

you're actually going to want the j32 out of the acura cl-s.
theres extra miscellaneous parts you're going to need from an rsx or ep3 from what i heard.
its available at hmotors for 3500 for the complete swap and extra for the mounts and axles.
im saving up to purchase this motor and swap it into an eg hatch or coupe. havent decided yet.

We know the search isn't the best, but do you know how this forum is organized?

C32 won't fit without extensive modifications to your chassis and hood. The cylinder heads are too tall and wide to fit in your bay. The J-Series engines fit, but your hood won't close, so you'll have to chop out a bit of the front half of your hood to clear the front valve cover.
